ℹ️ This feature is available only to Pro users.
You can annotate the non-isometric views in 2D drawings with geometries. Currently, the app supports the following geometry types:
- 2-point centerline
- 2-line centerline
- 2-point circular centerline
- 3-point circular centerline
- Center mark
- Intersection mark
Centerline
Centerlines are dashed lines that run between two reference points or lines. You can use them in 2D drawings to:
- Show the axes of circular or cylindrical features such as holes and discs
- Dimension circular features
- Point out features that share the same central axis
Note that in the app, you cannot dimension these centerlines with the Line length tool.
To add a centerline, follow these steps:
- Select Geometries in the menu.
-
Select one of the geometry tools: 2-Point Centerline, 2-Line Centerline, 3-Point Circular Centerline, or 3-Point Centerline.
-
If you chose 2-Point Centerline or 2-Point Circular Centerline, select two points as reference in the drawing.
2-Point Centerline
2-Point Circular Centerline
If you chose 3-Point Circular Centerline, select three points on a circumference.
If you chose 2-Line Centerline, select two linear lines as reference in the drawing.A centerline will be created between the reference points or lines.
- You can extend the centerlines by dragging the arrows.
- Select Done to exit the tool and finalize the geometries.
Center mark
Center marks are cross-shaped annotations that indicate the centers of circles, arcs, and circular edges. You can also mark these centers as reference points for dimensioning.
To add a center mark, follow these steps:
- Go to Geometries > Center Mark in the menu.
- Select the center of circular edges.
- Select Done to exit the tool and finalize the geometries.
Intersection mark
Intersection marks are cross-shaped annotations that indicate where two non-parallel, linear lines intersect. You can also mark these points as reference for dimensioning.
To add an intersection mark, follow these steps:
- Go to Geometries > Intersection Mark in the menu.
- Select two linear lines that are not parallel.
- Select Done to exit the tool and finalize the geometries.
